由紅窗門街走入福隆新街的路上，聞到陣陣的燒肉香味，傳來香味的是一間土耳其轉轉燒肉店。澳門市民對於這間燒肉店應該毫不陌生，甚至是南灣區上班一族無暇午膳的快速食糧。
On the way from Rua da Alfândega to Rua da Felicidade, we would catch the tasty smell of vertical barbecue from a Turkish döner kebab eatery. Local Macau people shouldn’t feel strange with this Turkish eatery especially for those office workers who need a quick lunch at Nam Van area.
「每次走過那間燒肉店，都見老闆笑著跟我們打招呼。」當問及附近的街坊時，很多人都這樣回答：「Jafar是一位熱愛運動的人，而且常常帶著燦爛的笑容。」紅窗門街及福隆新街一帶在近十年來經歷了不少變化，由原來一條住着多很多舊街坊的老街，至今變成很多菲律賓食店駐入的街道，加上Jafar的土耳其燒肉，數間葡國餐廳及粵菜食店，這裡已是很多元化的一條小街。Jafar多間店在這區經營多年，他與附近的街坊已經十分稔熟。
“The owner Jafar sent us smiley greetings when we passed by every time.” Most of the neighbours told us the same when we mentioned this döner kebab eatery. “Jafar is sporty; he carries a bright smile all the time.” Some changes in recent decade in Rua da Alfândega and Rua da Felicidade area. Many old neighbours were living in this old streets in past time and now it became a street with many Filipinos eateries, plus with Jafar’s döner kebab eatery, some Portuguese restaurant and Cantonese cuisine, here is a multicultural street nowadays. Since Jafar had run döner eatery here for many years, he is so familiar with the locals in this area.
Jafar是這間土耳其轉轉燒肉店的主理人，他父親多年前到澳門工作與生活，因此在12年前決定來澳陪伴父親。然後在水坑尾經營第一間的燒肉店，由於土耳其燒肉於澳門始終是一門很鮮見的料理，當時食店的生意已經很不俗，其後由於租金上漲，於水坑尾的店舖結業，他們再於紅窗門街一帶開了第二間燒肉店，同樣再經歷租金問題，於六年前，就遷移到現在福隆新街的第三間小店。
Jafar is owner and chef of this Turkish vertical barbecue eatery; his father came to Macau working and living many years ago, Jafar decided to come here be with him 12 years ago. Then started with the first barbecue eatery in Rua do Campo, since the Turkish barbecue is a rare cuisine in Macau, the business was running quite well. Afterwards, due to the rental increasing, the first eatery in Rua do Campo was closed. The second one started in Rua da Alfândega, facing the same rental issue, they moved to the present location as the third one in Rua da Felicidade 6 years ago.
在他來澳的短短12年間，Jafar已經在澳門兩間大學完成了多個心理學學位，更在北京完成了體育相關的學位。除了學習之餘，他還經營一間波斯地毯店，以及管理中外衣服貿易生意。Jafar來自伊朗，問及他離開家鄉12年，會否想念家鄉。他回應：「我每年都會至少回家鄉一次，初初來澳門的時候不會太想念家鄉，但現在就會。」他回家鄉的時候，偶爾會帶同一些體育團體一同去伊朗交流，雖然兩地的文化有很大的分別，但對於Jafar來說，他覺得澳門是一個很適合居住的城市。
During 12 years living in Macau, Jafar had accomplished some degrees in Psychology in two local universities. Moreover, he gained the degree in sport-related subject in Beijing. Besides studying, he is running a Persian carpet shop and managing clothes trading business in China. He’s originally from Iran, asked him about homesick since leaving his hometown 12 years, Jafar told us he goes back home at least once per year, from the beginning in Macau was not so much miss home but now he does. Sometimes he brought some sports groups to Iran for exchange activities when he returned home. Even though both cultures in big difference, Jafar thought Macau is a suitable city for living.
剛剛來到澳門時，他在街上問路常常遭到拒絕，他認為因為他是外地人，被拒絕多數都是因為語言問題。但在這個地方住多幾年後，對澳門更多了解，現在有遊客在這條路尋求幫助的時候，我都會幫助他們。
In the early times he was in Macau, often got rejected when he asked for direction, he thought because he is a foreigner and caused by language issue mostly. After some years belonged to here, more understanding about Macau, he would assist the tourists when they seek help on this street.
在經營福隆新街一帶的第二和第三間燒肉的接近十年間，Jafar從這條熱鬧街道看到了澳門的興衰變化。「這條街曾經是相當熱鬧的，但近年的遊客數量不斷減少，天鴿過後的生意額也大幅下降。」Jafar說，在澳門的數個小區之間，這一帶是他最喜愛的地方，新舊的建築同時存在，還有小社區的氣氛。他也正打算在這裡開發更多的可能性。
During the period of the second and third döner kebab eatery in Rua da Felicidade area almost 10 years, Jafar could see the rise and fall of social change in this lively street. “Tourist numbers keep decreasing recent years, typhoon Hato causing a large drop for business, this street was bustling with noise at some time in the past.” Said Jafar. Among the districts in Macau, this area is his most favourite one. New and old architectures co-existed and small community atmosphere. He is deciding to open up more possibilities in this area.
